A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Finding a Treasure-Gathering Basin from the Start

With a mixed spiritual root and a job as a menial servant in the pill-refining workshop, Xu Ping'an is from the start the lowest of the low, an ant at the bottom of the Qingyun Sect.

Bullied by everyone, robbed of his spirit rice, and cut off from resources, he is destined to remain stuck at the Qi Refining stage for the rest of his life.

Until he finds a battered clay basin, covered in rust, in an abandoned stone pit behind the mountain.

Withered grass placed inside becomes a hundred-year-old spiritual herb; a fragmentary scroll becomes an ancient Daoist scripture; a useless pill becomes a flawless divine pill; scrap iron becomes a weapon that can cut through iron.

With a single refinement in the Immortal Basin, any scrap others discard becomes something that defies fate.

While others toil for a hundred years to win a slim chance of survival, he quietly collects discarded items from the three realms and climbs to the summit.

The sect is rife with undercurrents, and battles between immortal sects leave corpses strewn across the land. Xu Ping'an keeps the basin hidden on him, develops steadily, strikes decisively, and flees the moment danger arises.

From a menial servant in the mortal realm, he sweeps through the spirit realm and slaughters his way across the immortal realm, until the gods and demons of the heavens bow and the Dao Ancestor trembles and begs for mercy.

No System, no bleeding-heart saint, just the Immortal Basin and his own cunning as he turns junk into treasure, advances step by step, and uses a mortal body to attain eternal life through the ages!
